Pokémon Costumes

I'm a little late to the party. But here are the costumes the main cast of Fix-It Cat wore for Halloween on Monday. @malamiteltd​ suggested that they dress up as their favorite Pokémon. That got me thinking about a possible couple's costume. I thought it would be fun to draw Maria and Collin wearing Pikachu and Raichu costumes respectively. After that I thought it would be funny to stick Milo in the background with the leftover Pichu costume. He doesn't appear to be too happy to have gotten stuck with that one. It's a bit of a rush job, so I can't say it tuned out the best. But I'm at least satisfied with the results. I would have had this ready yesterday but I unfortunately have been fighting off a very nasty sinus infection over the weekend. It made sitting at my desk for too long a bit uncomfortable. So drawing wasn't exactly a priority at the time. Anyway. Happy Halloween everyone. Now if you'll excuse me, Mariah Carey seems to have thawed out again.

Toon Cats

Recently, there was a meme going around Twitter involving a challenge to color your own original character(s) in a color pallet featured in bumpers for Cartoon Network. I thought it would be a fun little challenge to try, but I thought I’d take it a step further by drawing one of my characters in a style that has been predominantly used on Cartoon Network shows for the past few years, known as Thin-Line Animation. The character I chose was Milo Waite. He always seemed like the perfect candidate to become a toon character, and I had tried to draw him a toon style a while back as well, but that didn’t exactly turn out right.

I even threw in a fun little “NS” logo as my artist signature meant to mimic the current Cartoon Network logo just for fun. But of course, in order to make this work I had to draw Milo in his original color scheme.

It’s a bit odd, but this drawing just seemed to come out a bit too perfect for me. I mean, it’s not at all my best work, but it’s almost uncanny to me how good he looks in this style. And it feels like a drawing I didn’t even do. But I didn’t stop there either. I figured I might as well do his sister, Maria while I was at it.

I chose the pose she’s in cause I wanted to try something a little different than just a basic standing pose. And again, it’s odd how well the style works. So, finally I decided to try my main character, Collin LiBee.

And again, not wanting to do a basic standing pose, I decided to do something a bit more “toon like” for this one. Involving a giant mallet and a broken printer. Those that have worked tech support before can probably relate to this.

I may do one more of these for another character later on, but for now enjoy the main cast of Fix-It Cat in the toon style.
